Super Bowl LX<\/a> kicked off on Sunday night, with the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots clashing for the NFL title at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks had the first possession after winning the coin toss, scoring the first three points of the game through a field goal.<\/p>\n

This is the Seahawks’ first Super Bowl<\/a> appearance since they lost the 2015 Super Bowl to the Patriots in Glendale, Arizona.<\/p>\n

The Patriots are playing in their third final in the decade, but it will be their first since the departure of team legend Tom Brady.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the game, Jewish billionaire and philanthropist Robert Kraft<\/a> announced he would use the event to send a strong message against antisemitism.<\/p>\n

Kraft\u2019s Blue Square Alliance Against Hate released a preview of its 2026 Super Bowl commercial before the Seattle Seahawks face off against the New England Patriots at Levi\u2019s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The preview shows a Jewish student walking through a school hallway who is then jostled by two other students, one of whom surreptitiously sticks a Post-it note on his backpack.<\/p>\n

When the boy arrives at his locker, he notices the note that reads, \u201cDirty Jew.\u201d An African-American student who saw what happened comes over and covers it with a blue square sticker, saying, \u201cDo not listen to that. I know how it feels.\u201d<\/p>\n
